Processing lines in coal mines, quarries, cement plants, mining facilities, and power plants have a special problem in very cold weather. The coal, sand, cement, ores, or other mined products they handle can freeze and cause equipment outages. The combination of trace moisture mixed with aggregate material, plus freezing temperatures, combine for major problems with conveyors, hoppers and chutes. When the aggregate hits the cold steel surface, it instantly freezes (flash freezing). The bond between the frozen aggregate and the steel wall is virtually unbreakable, and can cause long down-times with the equipment. Maintenance people have their own, time-tested curative solutions - torches and hammers - but installing preventative measures is clearly preferable.

The FRP heating panel, a waterproof, dust tight, and vibration resistant heater is an excellent preventative solution. FRP heaters are designed to be used in the high vibration, corrosive and dirty areas where they are installed. Available with FM approval for use in hazardous areas, they provide an easily customized panel that conforms to the shape and size needed to fit any chute or hopper. Additionally, they are lightweight, can be applied to flat or curved surfaces, and are very easy to install and maintain.
